Conclusion

I feel over the past year, I have grown as a person massively. I am more confident in both the practise of makeup artistry and also socially, which I believe are because of university. I am feeling positive as to what this year will bring, and working on my own personal goals. To further support my studies, I would like to take trips to museums, volunteer on shoots around with other university students and work on my own shoots. Over the summer, to support my work and gain an understanding of theatre work, I was lucky enough to have a backstage tour of the Queen's Theatre in London, which shows the iconic 'Les Miserables'. My sister is a dresser, so I had a personal tour throughout the backstage, where I saw the costumes, and more importantly the wigs. It was amazing to see the work of the wig mistress, especially up close. I then went on to see where the actors apply their own makeup, and was even allowed to walk on stage and look out at the stands. It was an amazing experience that I will remember and work towards being in the industry.
This year, I am aiming to find work in southampton in the makeup industry. Whether it be behind a makeup counter, working in a beauty store, or working on uni students photoshoots and films. I am motivated and will look at everything in a positive way.
